How do these plugs look?

I just got done replacing my spark plugs with the NGKs.

OEM ones had 50k miles on them.

Album is here:

How do they look? I included some pics of the spark plug housing because they appeared to have some black buildup. Is this normal? I don't think there was any pooling of oil but there was this black junk in all 6 housings...

Runs much quieter and smoother with the new NGK plugs (gapped to 0.024-0.025)

Looks about right for 50k.

I haven't had to gap a plug in forever. What is the part number on the NGKs you used?

I used NGK 95770. To close the gap I held them in one hand and tapped them with a small hammer.

Anyone have input on the gunk in the socket housing?

Probably oil from blow-by.
